NoDa's street vendors play a vital part in creating the vibrant, dynamic atmosphere that draws visitors and residents to Charlotte's self-described arts district.

Now these small businesses are under attack.

A handful of neighborhood residents and businesses has asked city officials to immediately ban street vendors in NoDa. If successful, this campaign will be a step in the direction of transforming our neighborhood's funky, lively vibe into that of a sterile shopping mall or suburban subdivision.

In addition to signing this petition, please consider helping to organize on behalf of our street vendors by emailing your name and contact information to NoDaVendors@gmail.com.

Together we can let city officials know we support the artists and entrepreneurs who make up NoDa's street vendors. Let them work!
